Top US military commander visits Gaza, reaffirms no US troops to be deployed there

The head of the US Central Command (Centcom) said on Saturday that he visited Gaza to discuss post-conflict stabilisation and insisted no US troops will be deployed to the Palestinian territory.

Admiral Brad Cooper wrote on X that he just returned from a trip to Gaza to discuss the creation of a Centcom-led "civil-military coordination centre" which will "support conflict stabilisation".
